From 7974728ea8814326eebe1a4f2b61110544ec8de2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: ZhengGong-amd Date: Tue, 16 Jun 2026 05:09:31 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/5] minimaxm3-fp8-mi300x-vllm: enable AITER kernels for MXFP8 on MI300X Enable AITER on MI300X/gfx942 for MiniMax-M3 MXFP8 via the single master toggle VLLM_ROCM_USE_AITER=1. The per-component AITER flags (_MOE, _LINEAR, _RMSNORM, _FP8BMM) default to True and are gated behind the master flag, so they are left at their defaults. VLLM_ROCM_USE_AITER_MHA defaults to True and is explicitly set to 0 to keep attention on TRITON_ATTN, since the MXFP8 checkpoint lacks calibrated q/prob scales for ROCm FP8 attention. Also set AMD-recommended numerically-inert MI300X runtime knobs: TORCH_BLAS_PREFER_HIPBLASLT=1, NCCL_MIN_NCHANNELS=112 (RCCL channels, raised above the ~32-64 default for TP8), GPU_MAX_HW_QUEUES=2 (HIP streams, capped below the default of 4). All changes are kernel-selection/runtime only; GSM8K holds ~0.95. Measured uplift (8xMI300X, 1k1k, total tok/s/gpu): +5.6..+10.8% across conc 4..256; conc 1-2 unchanged (latency-bound).
